That's right. two posts in one day cause I'm feeling CraZzZy. Anyways, I went to eat lunch today at the MSC (for non Aggies that is just the memorial student center). When I finished eating, I got on one of the computers that is next to the tables where people eat. Next to me was a student who was in the core of cadets (for non Aggies that is just ROTC on steroids). Anyways, these people are known to uphold the "spirit" of our school and community. Yes, these are the guys in the uniforms who bark at you when you mistakenly walk on the grass outside of the MSC. Oddly enough, this guy next to me managed to say "fuck" at least 12 times while sitting next to a group of elderly women who were there on some sort of visit (at least I think it was a visit because they had nametags). So the first time this guy cusses I figure he just let it slip. I mean, can you blame him? everyone slips out a "fuck" here and there. By about the 6th or so time I was getting really pissed off. Now, don't get me wrong I could care less if you cuss or not when in the right environment. I mean, me and my friends do ever so often. But when you are sitting next to a couple of grandmothers who are obviously quicker to take offense to stuff like that, you can't watch your mouth? Dick. Another peice of striking evidence that needs to be mentioned is that this guy was a JUNIOR. Not a freshmen....a junior. Really?? Grow up and learn when and where you can say "fuck".

So, I am now listening to Have Heart's "Songs to Scream at the Sun". I have had it on my Ipod for maybe a month or two now but just got around to listening to it. Wow. They are fantastic. I always thought I would be slightly less into straight up hardcore after recently going through a kick of more melodic, harmony influenced punk stuff. But, I could not be more WRONG. From the first track to the last, it kept me so invested that I could hardly bring myself to turn it off as my professor was starting class. While hearing them for the first time, one who isn't used to hardcore may be tempted to turn it off or skip through tracks. WARNING: DO NOT EVER DO THIS. I used to do dumb stuff like that. I'm trying to stop. The aestheic that that album creates as a whole is unmatched by any single track or skipping of tracks. I was surprised by how much I like this dude's voice. Go listen to it. Yup, go do it now.
